I mean, book Hermione is absolutely not attractive and her looks are part of why Harry and Ron don’t like her in Philosopher’s Stone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All of the failings of the films is on the filmmakers, to include casting her.

She grows into her looks later, but she wasn’t “unattractive”. She just had some normal childhood flaws like bushy unmanageable hair. And that’s still a really shitty reason for Harry and Ron not to like her, more than her know-it-all attitude, and doesn’t say anything good about either of them in that book. At least they come around and stop being jerks about her looks.

You say it’s a failing of the filmmakers for casting her. What are the filmmakers actually at fault for? What was their failing in this regard? Why shouldn’t they have casted her? Just because she didn’t look 1 for 1 to the book’s description doesn’t mean she was unfit for the role. Especially because she pulled it off well in the actual acting department, appearance be damned. And they still did make her hair close enough to the books, even if it was clearly not Emma’s normal hairstyle. But she was cast when she was a child, how was anyone supposed to know she’d grow up to be as attractive as she is, the filmmakers included? This is such a weird take.

SA

And when I say “And they still did make her hair close enough to the books, even if it was clearly not Emma’s normal hairstyle”, I of course mean they made her hair close enough for the first couple of movies. I’m not pretending they didn’t straighten out her hair later.

ia, if she were conventionally pretty the class would never bully her. I think Luna's casting is great in this regard.
